High Tech Hole in One
The High Tech Hole in One project was a 10th grade wide collaboration between both teams. For the Colleen/Mariah team, we choose a court case that affected the Civil Rights Movement. During Humanities, we researched and learned about our cases. In Chemistry, we explored the makings of golf clubs and made our own models. For Math, we learned about angles to know how to make the best shot possible.

My hit was not very complex, but other students had to figure out how to bounce the ball of the walls in such a way that it would travel where they wanted it to.
Chemistry
In Chemistry, students watched a video on how to make putters out of aluminum using a foundry. The rest of the class made wooden putters.
